While I was in the field detecting yesterday I got a call from a woman who had lost her deceased mother’s gold college ring that was given to her and I knew I had to knock off early to go and look for it. It was a successful recovery!

Received a call from a man in Wilmette, Illinois that lost his Platinum wedding ring while playing hoops with his kids.
They purchased a detector but unfortunately did not have any luck.
Turned out to be a pretty quick search, about 5 minutes.
Went into some thick ivy next to playing field.
This search wasn’t called for it was just by chance that I walked into the mall at Metrotown in Burnaby and spotted a change purse on the floor. I saw this about 30 feet away people walking by it almost stepping on it I picked it up, looked inside and there was over $300 in cash. I didn’t find any driver’s ID, but fortunately there was a piece of paper folded up with the ladies contact info and phone number.
She looked to be a senior citizen, and I could only imagine how much that must’ve hurt losing that change purse with all that money in it, I phoned her, and as you could imagine she was very excited to get the call.
She had already left the mall and was home but was on her way back to meet me with her son, they were there within 15 minutes and her son gave me a $50 gift card for Starbucks… Amazing! she was such a nice lady and very very grateful that she got her money back.

Yesterday I found a platinum wedding band for Tim, who lost it while pulling weeds in his garden and moving the weeds and brush to a burn pile
He said he never had the band off in 22 years of marriage and his anniversary is on Friday. So he got it back just in time.
I received a call from Jake explaining how he had lost his gold wedding ring while shooting some hoops the day before. He told me he went up for a jump shot and felt the ring come off. He didn’t see it but heard a sound of the ring hitting something and then it was gone. After searching all over without any luck, he went to the internet for help and found The Ring Finders. Jake had told me that he and his wife Deanna had recently celebrated their 2 year anniversary so I meet him the same day so we could get this ring back on his finger. We went over everything that happened the day before and the search began. After around 15 minutes, a loud signal coming in at 36 on my Equinox 900 told me I was about to see a smile. The ring was hiding in a patch of dead grass and blended in making it nearly impossible to see. So happy to help return this ring where it belongs.
We got a call this morning on a lost white gold wedding band lost doing some roadwork clearing. Lost while taking off gloves and run over a few times with his bobcat. The Equinox hit on it reading a 17.
Received a call from a man in Naperville, Illinois.
Lost his 22k Gold Wedding band while playing cricket in a field last night.
He purchased a metal detector but did not have any success.
After gridding out 4 corners in the field, I got lucky and started in the right corner, found it in about 10 minutes.
This property pin recovery actually started last December. Deanna had contacted me to find three pins, in particular and possibly a fourth, on her York, Maine property. Her neighbors had recently sold their home and Deanna would just like to find the pins, dividing the properties. Deanna has lived at her current home for 15 years and has the most recent survey prints, from just before she bought her home, 15 years earlier. Deanna told me that she herself had pulled one of the pins, out of the ground, on her property because it was in the way of her mowing. Thankfully, that pin is not included in our current search. She now regrets that decision. There were two pins, in particular, Deanna would really like us to find and last December, with snow on the ground, Gary Hill and I did just that. We found the two property pins, without much trouble at all and a third pin, in the front of her house. The fourth pin however was behind her neighbors home in an area that the hay and bamboo was very thick and tall. The area was also very wet and had frozen, unlike the drier soil in the field itself. We had a difficult time swinging our detectors properly and with that area of the property already frozen, we decided to come back in the spring, when the ground would be thawed and the tall hay would be matted down, from the winters snow,
So, When I received a call from Michele to help find her bracelet, in York Harbor, Maine, I decided to give Deanna a call. Deanna was all for me returning and trying to find the fourth property pin, behind her neighbors home. After a successful recovery of Michele’s bracelet, I drove the 4.50 miles to Deanna’s house. The snow was gone, ground thawed and hay had been matted down, to a more manageable height. The property pin I was searching for would be exactly 85’, from property pin #3 Gary and I had found a little over 4 months ago. With my 300’ tape measure, I secured one end to Pin #3 and measured out the 85’. As you all know I am not a licensed surveyor and this pin had a degree of angle from pin #3 and I don’t have the tools to measure that angle exactly. I knew I could get close to it, but not exact. All this would mean is that my angle, over 85’ may put me off 5 or 10 feet from where the actual pin is. No prowl as I would just search the entire 10 feet or so of the area. Once I had the 85 feet measured out, I started to search. I received a strong ferrous target but it ended up being a piece of farm equipment. Another strong ferrous target turned out to be a very old and large square nail. Target #3 was something large. As I dug it up, it turned out to be a large chunk of concrete, WITH A METAL PIPE in it. This had to be the property marker. It was EXACTLY 85’ from pin #3. I also remembered from the property survey, there was at least one other pin that said “CONC. BND”. Concrete boundary? It appeared the pipe, running through the concrete and the concrete itself had broken. Just to be safe, I searched more area around the concrete pipe but nothing els was found. It had to be the pin, at exactly 85’. I took some photos and sent them to Deanna. Her response made perfect sense. She replied, “Likely got hit by the tractor mowing the field at some point. Great to have them all located, thank you!” Great point. The tractors had been cutting the hay in the field, for decades, if not longer. I am only guessing but because the ground is very wet, in that area, the property pin was placed in concrete, to keep it standing upright, until a tractor hit it anyways.
So I had a busy morning, with it starting in York Harbour, finding a Sterling Silver and Gold Bracelet, in a burn pit and ending in York,Maine, just 4-5 miles away with property pin #4, being found. Both Michele and Deanna were happy, as was I. We have the greatest job in the world. I love my job.
As a side note, We can help you locate your property pins BUT I am not a licensed surveyor. I am just a metal detectorist trying to help others out. I informed Deanna and all my clients that I may find their property pins but I cannot guarantee that the pin is in the correct location. I have no way of knowing if the pin has actually been moved, in the past, or not. Only a licensed surveyor can guarantee the pins are in the correct spot.

The First Bloom of Spring…..Made Their Hearts Sing!
For just about a year Brendan and his wife had no idea where her ring went missing. Their love of milkweed and the pretty flower it produces inspired them to design a custom ring for Diana. While planting some to attract butterflies is when Brendan thinks the ring vanished. Diana was also busy with other tasks on the property, so they really weren’t sure. I started my grid search on the path Diana took from the house to the garden area. Since the property was once a farmhouse from the late 1800’s I started to see many deep iron targets on my MXT metal detector meter which I quickly passed over. Getting a bouncy signal in where the ring signal would be I dug a piece of foil. Rechecking the ground a new signal sounded good. Pinpointing the item, I dug down about an inch and saw what looked like a flower that was happy to see sunlight again! It was Diana’s ring! Texting them to come out, when they got to me, looking in the hole, Diana plucked the ring from the ground. As huge smiles appeared on their faces, I said what an unusual way to sow the seeds of love!
